9th May, Europe Day.

Tomorrow is Europe Day, a day for all of us Europeans to celebrate and rejoice.
Some of the students in the workshop from 1st and 2nd ESO have created a couple of posters to highlight the occasion.

Christmas Carols by 3rd ESO.

Los alumnos de 3º ESO nos quisieron felicitar las navidades cantando dos villancicos en Inglés en el festival del colegio. Los villancicos en cuestión fueron "White Christmas" y "Jingle Bell rock". Los podéis ver en los siguientes vídeos.

Apps!!

There's no doubt technology is increasingly ever  more present in our every day lives, so it's no wonder it is also affecting and helping the way we learn languages. Consequently, I thought about creating an entry just for apps so as to help learners of English to reach (or at least get closer ) their goal.
Underneath are just a few examples I know. The last four are apps for the Oxford books we work with in ESO here at Corpus and the Big Challenge app, the contest we take part in.
If you know of any other good ones, let me know about them by sending an e-mail to eduamon@gmail.com.

Phonemic chart.

Phonetics! Key to understand English and make yourself understood. While English grammar is more simple than the Spanish one, English phonetics are much more complicated. That's why we don't understand sometimes words that we perfectly know and make us feel frustrated.
I came across the following phonemic chart and thought it could be quite useful for English learners, as it reproduces each individual vowel, consonant and dipthong sound. Students sometimes see the symbols and tell me "what is that? How does it sound?" With this chart, they can see and listen to each of the individual sounds heard in English. Enjoy!
